Yes, a positive integer and its negative have the same absolute value. For example, +5 and -5 have the same absolute value.
Two (2) minus negative three (-3) is five (5). When you subtract a negative number it is the same as adding a positive number of the same absolute value.
The absolute value (that is the numerical value ignoring the sign) of the result is the operation done on the absolute value of the operands. If the signs of the operands are the same the result will be positive; otherwise the signs of the operands are different and the result will be negative. eg -2 × 5: the operands are of opposite signs (one positive, one negative), so the result will be negative and 2 × 5 = 10, thus -2 × 5 = -10; eg -2 × -5: the operands are of the same sign (both negative), so the result will be positive, and 2 × 5 = 10, thus -2 × -5 = 10; eg 10 ÷ -5; the operands are of opposite signs, so the result will be negative and 10 ÷ 5 = 2, thus 10 ÷ -5 = -2.
The sum of two positive numbers is positive. The sum of two negative numbers is negative. The sum of a positive and negative number will depend on which number has a greater absolute value. 5 + (-4) = 1 5 + (-9) = -4
It depends on the values. Adding a negative number to a positive is essentially just subtraction. For example, 4 + (-3) = 4 - 3 = 1. Adding a positive and a negative could yield either a positive or a negative number, depending on the values of the numbers being added.The sign of the answer will be the same as the sign of the larger number. If the numbers have the same absolute value, the answer will be zero.Examples5 + (-2) = 32 + (-5) = -35 + (-5) = 0
